I know just how you feel Matthew, I feel the same way about Valley Forge, whenever I'm in the area I just can't stay away from the place, I must have been there at least 20 times by now. Can't tell you why either, something keeps pulling me back there time and time again.
And no, I don't believe I died there in a previous life! I DO get an interesting vibe from the place I can't explain however.
Thank you all for your comments left here as well as under the essay, and the emails my way. The East Broad Top is my all-time favorite railroad, I want only the very best for it. To this day, visiting is an addiction I cannot break. When the alarm clock goes off at ungodly hours of the morning I can't get out of bed fast enough. At the end of a long day of shooting I don't want to leave. It is my photographic personal project; I anticipate my next return.
Matthew
Thank you so much for that. Sometimes I wish the world was black and white like that. And yes Firelock, I agree.
Wow, a sad commentary on what was, what is and what could be.
Maestro, keep up the fight.
Great stuff Maestro, magnificent and melancholy, with a real "life after people" mysteriousness to it. Reminds me a bit of the Joyce Kilmer poem, "The House With Nobody In It."

Read the poem everyone, and see if you agree.
Thanks for helping keeping the memory alive.

I'm sometimes asked what my photographic personal project is, until now its been under wraps. But now not anymore...
